Unable to locate uplay pc

[Jeh0va]

so the game was working for like 2 days then suddenly it gives me the "unable to locate uplay" pc error.

things that i have tried already:
reinstalling uplay from the official site
verifying game files
reinstalling the game and uplay from scratch
reg fix
starting with admin rights
disabling avg
disabling synch

i have come to the point where i contacted ubisoft via mail, live chat and phone. i already sent them my msinfo and dxdiag a few weeks ago with no response.

so i was hoping the community might be of some help.


sorry for any bad english in here and thanks in advance.

I'm having a google because I'm bored, and you actually listed things you tried to fix the issue (Thanks for that btw)

Have you recently installed anything which could be changing core system files (such as shell32.dll)?

I'm going to assume you haven't changed install paths recently (You really need both uplay and Wildlands both on your C: - If not, relocate them)

See another report from someone where they fixed the issue by reinstalling Steam itself

Some people say they just left it alone overnight and it worked the next day - heh


To be honest, it looks like a generic error message, so I imagine there'd be all kinds of "fixes" which may not actually do anything for you, as that's not your issue

Yeah, I suspect it was a Windows Update that sorted the issue for those who were saying they just left it alone overnight and it started working - People suck at documenting what they do these days, makes googling a bit hard

Glad to hear you got it working again anyways - Also thanks again for letting us know what fixed it for you
